Specialty Desserts

GROOM’S CAKE

Grooms cakes are to be a fun and, festive way to give your man a chance to tell something about himself. We can take a theme of an alma mater, hobby, or place and turn it into a cake that will taste great, be fun at the wedding and, make many happy memories.Many fans of the movie “Steel Magnolias” may remember the scene where the Groom’s Cake was an armadillo made with red velvet cake with grey icing. It is a long standing tradition in the south especially and it’s a place where the guests can gather and have a slice of cake with the groom and the groom’s family.

CUPCAKES

Cupcakes have become very popular and here at the Evie’s Wedding Cakes and we make the best! Cupcakes can make a beautiful presentation and, taste great all at the same time. Some brides and grooms have a small cutting cake for the traditional cake cutting, and an array of cupcakes to share with the wedding guests. The flavors and frostings can be mixed, and matched, picking from the list of flavors we have listed for our cakes. We recommend three dozen extra beyond the guest count to make sure there are some left for those guests that come back for a second.

COOKIES

Decorated wedding gift cookies are one of our specialties. Many shapes are available to turn into most any theme you can think of. It’s a “sweet” way to present a beautiful handmade gift for your wedding guests to take with them and enjoy for later. Cookies are $3.50 a piece that are wrapped individually in plastic Cookies are $4.50 a piece that are individually bagged with ribbon.

Delivery

There is a delivery, and set-up charge of the cakes.

This fee will be based on the amount of estimated time spent, and miles traveled.

Pick up at the bakery is also an option. This is a great option for smaller cakes or cakes no more than 2 tiers.

The cake is packed in a special wedding cake box and will need to ride in an air-conditioned vehicle on a flat surface, such as the back of a minivan, or SUV. The box needs to be wedged tight into place so it will not slide in case of a quick stop. It’s not recommended to pick up a cake that needs to be assembled on site.

Never leave a cake in the car on a hot day. Please take into consideration if picking up your wedding cake that once the cake leaves the Evie’s Bistro and Bakery premises, we are no longer responsible for the cake handling. If repairs are needed to be done, additional charges may occur.

We are closed on Sunday and there will not be an option for pickup at the Bakery on that day.

FAQs

How do we cut the wedding cake?

Caterers should know how to cut and serve wedding cakes but, to be on the safe side make sure to ask. A poorly cut wedding cake will end up in more crumbs than pieces and it’s to good to waste. If the wedding party is cutting their own cake please tell me at the tasting, and consultation and I will explain in descriptive detail how to do it. I recommend getting a practice cake out of our bakery case to practice on before you perform it at the wedding reception.

Here is a simplified description: There are tiered cakes which means a space between each tier that can be 1 inch to 5 inches. And there are stacked cakes and that is one cake on top of the other usually in a graduated size. Each tier will be on its own internal plate whether it is stacked or tiered. With a tiered cake you simply hold on to either side and pull up and out and put down onto a platter to cut in the wedding cake style of cutting into individual pieces. With a stacked cake you will have to have two cake spatulas and place on either side of the cake tier under the plate and gently pull up and over to a platter. There will need to be a cake cutting platter for each tier to cut into serving sizes and put onto serving plates for guests. Once on the platter the square cakes are cut in a grid and the round cakes are cut in a circular pattern from the outside in.

Can we pick up the cake the day before the wedding?

Yes, but the cake will need to be stored in some type of refrigeration, either in a walk-in or large refrigerator.

Do you recommend cupcakes if there are children coming to the wedding?

Yes, it is a nice treat for them. We recommend setting them up on a separate table for children to be able to help themselves when the main wedding cake is being served for the adults. They will like the independence and it’s a good way for them to meet and intermingle with the other children at the wedding.

What kind of a cake stand can the cake sit on?

We provide a strong, and sturdy base for the cake that is covered board. Depending on the size of the cake it is usually 1.5” to 2″ wider than the bottom cake tier.

If you are going to have a stand it needs to be without a lip on the edge and it needs to be the same in width or, wider. Florists usually have stands or, drums you can rent or, your caterer may have one available. If you are going with something non-conventional, please bring up the idea with me at the wedding cake consultation and I will plan for it.

Can each tier be a different flavor?

Yes, in-fact that is a very popular way to present your wedding cake. The guests love it because they get to try different flavors and, it will be one of the fun highlights of the wedding. Your guests will talk about it for many years to come!

Can I have a small cutting cake for the traditional cake cutting ceremony and, have several sheet cakes for the rest of the wedding guests?

Yes, that is an option and we can discuss that at the wedding cake consultation. The sheet cakes can be different flavors and our Evie’s Bistro and Bakery sheet cakes are two-layer and can be filled with sauces or mousse.

Do you do an edible topper cutting cake on top of two or three tiers of dummy cakes?

No, we do not work with dummy cakes.

How do I store our first anniversary cake in my freezer for a year?

We supply a dome and base (a sort of bakery box) to store it in when I deliver the wedding cake. It will be under the wedding cake table for the caterer to put it in. Use that to store it in, cover it all in plastic bag, tightly cover all in foil and put it into another plastic bag and, finally put it in the back of the freezer. When your anniversary day arrives take it out of the freezer and thaw the cake out three hours on the kitchen counter at room temperature.

What tier should we cut into at the cake cutting ceremony?

The bottom tier.

What cake would look the prettiest when we cut into it at the ceremony?

Strawberry, red velvet, lemon with raspberry filling or carrot.

I love red velvet cake, but I want to know what makes it red?

Red dye number five and German chocolate cake (milk chocolate).

How can I avoid getting cake on my wedding dress during the cutting ceremony?

Discuss this with your fiancé before the wedding and have a pact between you that he won’t get cake and frosting on your dress or his tux. Or! A novel ideas is for both the bride and groom to wear aprons.

I am having an outdoor summer wedding. Where is the best place for the cake table?

The cake is fragile to the elements of the outdoors, if it is hot and in the sun the frosting can melt. It is best that the cake should be stored in a cool place at least up until one hour before it’s served. It should be inside if possible or, at the very least under the shade of a tent.

What is the best way to prepare for a wedding cake consultation and tasting?

Look at lots of pictures of cakes and start to determine what type of decoration you would like and, how you want your wedding cake to be presented to your guests when they walk into the reception hall. Think of your favorite cake flavors, and how they can be worked into all your special cake flavors. Go with what the both of you like the best and the guests will love what you are offering!
